"FT" correctly pointed out the Lucas 576SLR/SFT lamps as the "accepted"
lamps. In reality, though, almost any period lamp or lamps would be
acceptable at least under VTR Concours rules. Frankly, as expensive as they
sometimes can be, the 576 series are probably the easiest to find (just type
"Lucas 576" into an eBay search). But don't pass over the Lucas 700 series
fog/driving lamps (although they're a bit big, they look really cool on
small-mouth cars, for that "Works TR2" look!), or Lucas Rangers, or Raydyot,
or Wipac or Butlers...or even Marchal or Cibie....
